Guide de Travail Manuel du Bois by Bernard Bertrand. The book describes (in French) the shavehorse and the varieties of drawknives used. I met the author recently at a woody event near Uzerche in the Correze region (www.artisanatboisvert.com) and he said he may bring out a version in English next year. It is well illustrated so monoglots should manage. Price 35€ includes 1hr DVD.

I personally ordered this book and I must say it is a very informative read on everything from what is a shave horse to the ergonomics of the shave horse in relation to one's personal body shape/size etc. Decent plans for building are included.
